Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

What he needs to do now is improve his cultivation level and wait for the Zhu family to return.

He didn't want Julie to take the opportunity to harm him again, or to run away.

Luo Chen took out the best resources, sat cross-legged, and began to practice breathing exercises.

The Tai Xu Hun Tian Gong he cultivated in his previous life was domineering and powerful. In just one night, it devoured and refined nearly half of the Zhu family's decades of accumulated wealth like a ferocious beast.

Originally at the second level of Grandmaster, he was forcibly raised to the seventh level of Grandmaster.

In this Immortal Continent, cultivation is divided into three major levels.

They are respectively mortal cultivators, spiritual cultivators, and immortal cultivators.

In the cultivation stage, there are four realms: Martial Artist, Martial Master, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.

Only by breaking through the bottleneck of the Grandmaster peak can one step into the Foundation Establishment stage of spiritual cultivation.

This level is also the most difficult, requiring qualifications, wealth, and spiritual treasures—all three are indispensable.

When he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.

Luo Chen pushed open the door and came outside to the courtyard. Julie, who had already woken up, stared at him with eyes that seemed to spit fire.

"You bastard, why did you tie me to a tree?"

Why? Because I like it.

"You're shameless—"

"Shameless? I have experienced the coldest aspects of human nature and seen through the wickedness of people's hearts. Now, I can be more ruthless, more decisive, and more unscrupulous than you can imagine."

"I advise you to be honest and not to make trouble for yourself."

Luo Chen was too lazy to waste any more words. He drew his sword and swung it, severing the rope with his sword energy.

"The spirit stones have been transported back; come with me to receive them."

After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back. Julie was so angry that her teeth itched, but she could only follow behind him unwillingly.

As soon as they arrived at the front hall, several teams of guards carried in heavy boxes in single file.

She was secretly surprised. How could this guy have timed things so perfectly?

Luo Chen naturally wouldn't tell her.

The Burial Pavilion within his body has the ability to detect his movements within a certain radius.

With a focused thought, the view mode revealed every detail within a radius of twenty miles.

He could look wherever he wanted without any fluctuation of spiritual energy, so no one could detect it.

"Miss, Master, these are the spirit stones mined over the past ten days, totaling 53,600 pieces."

The guards escorting the spirit stones announced this loudly.

"Alright, give each person one hundred spirit stones. Now you may leave."

Before Julie could speak, Luo Chen nodded calmly.

The guards were overjoyed. Normally, they would be lucky to get five or ten dollars, but this time the young master gave them a hundred. He was truly generous.

Everyone excitedly took the spirit stones and left, and no one noticed Julie's pale and ashen face.

Luo Chen instantly stored all the spirit stones into the Burial Heaven Pavilion and turned his gaze to Julie.

"You want me dead so badly, not only to seize my spiritual body, but there must be other reasons, right?"

"No. Besides, you're not dead." Julie's expression changed slightly.

"I was lucky to survive. It's alright if you don't tell me; you'll understand when your father comes back."

After saying that, he walked straight towards his small courtyard, with Julie following behind, deliberately slowing down her pace.

She whispered a few words to one of the guards, then quickly followed.

The guard then quickly left the Zhu family.

Under Luo Chen's divine sense, not a single word of the whisper was missed.

He smiled coldly to himself.

So the Zhu family was related to Wu Qingzong?

Gao Yang, the young master of the Wuqing Sect?

One of the four major sects within a radius of three thousand miles.

How could a small family like the Zhu family get involved with such a powerful force?

Her only asset is probably Julie's water-based spiritual root.

Since you've already married into Gaoyang, why would you want me to marry into your family?

Luo Chen had not yet figured this out.

If it's just for the sake of the Spirit Yang Body, there are plenty of opportunities to kill yourself, so why wait five years?

Is it because they fear the Luo family?

It's unlikely; the Luo family had already abandoned him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have put him in the Zhu family as a son-in-law.

Although he had doubts, he did not press Julie for more information.

Right now, improving one's level of understanding is the only real solution.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the resources in the Burial Sky Pavilion were also exhausted.

He stepped out of the courtyard and bumped into Julie peeking out from outside the gate.

She's been behaving herself these past few days and hasn't dared to provoke Luo Chen.

"Go and get some good food."

Upon seeing her, Luo Chen gave her a casual instruction.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Julie wasn't annoyed; on the contrary, she was secretly delighted. She had been cooped up in this little courtyard for so long that she was about to go crazy.

Watching her run off, Luo Chen's lips curled slightly.

"The patriarch has returned!"

Just then, a cheer erupted from outside the mansion gate.

Julie, who was waiting in the kitchen to serve the dishes, trembled upon hearing the sound, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

The days of humiliation and grievances have finally come to an end.

She took off running towards the gate of the mansion, a surge of anger welling up inside her.

"Luo Chen, you won't get to eat this meal! It will only be a victory celebration banquet for the Zhu family!"

She rushed to the gate of the mansion and saw the figures of her parents and brothers. She could no longer hold back and screamed.

"Father! Mother! You're finally back!"

Zhu Yuan looked up, his face covered in dust but unable to hide his joy.

"My dear daughter, your father is home. Why are you crying? Do you miss your parents?"

He laughed heartily, assuming Julie was crying tears of joy.

This trip to the Abyss was very fruitful.

With this opportunity, the Zhu family will be able to join the ranks of the top families in the Northern Region in just a few years.

"Lily, why are you dressed so disheveled?"

Her mother, Niu Fang, stared at her, her expression momentarily stunned.

Julie glanced at the dozen or so guests beside her and tugged at her parents' sleeves.

"Father, Mother, Brother, let's talk over here."

Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and Niu Fang's expression changed drastically.

Has something happened at home?

The three followed her to a short distance away, all staring at Julie.

Julie gritted her teeth and recounted in detail how Luo Chen had not only survived but also ruined her reputation.

"What?! You actually had your virginity taken by that bastard?"

Zhu Yuan's face turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled.

"If Young Master Gao finds out about this, the Zhu family is finished! Your elder brother's dream of joining the Martial Azure Sect will also be shattered. Li'er, how could you be so careless and let that bastard get his way?"

"Yes, Lily, what are we going to do!" Niu Fang stamped her feet and pounded her chest.

"That Luo Chen truly deserves to die!"

Her elder brother, Zhu Shun, was filled with hatred; entering the Wuqing Sect was something he dreamed of.

Julie quickly shared the solutions she had been considering over the past few days.

"Father, Mother, it was my carelessness. But things have come to this, I beg you to avenge me! I will repay him a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the torment he inflicted upon me, and I will tear him to pieces!"

"If Young Master Gao wants to pursue this matter, he will only hate Luo Chen. After all, our daughter was forced into it. Handing over Luo Chen's body will better demonstrate the Zhu family's stance, and Young Master Gao will naturally be less inclined to investigate further."

"As for your brother's matter, there is no need to worry too much. Although your daughter has lost her virginity, she still has a water spiritual root and is still a rare and excellent furnace. Her relationship with Young Master Gao should not be severed."

Niu Fang's face was gloomy, and Zhu Yuan sighed heavily.

"Let's hope so. That's all we can think for now. Let's go, let's deal with that bastard first!"

"Wait, Father! That guy has already reached the Grandmaster realm and has some strange methods. We must be careful and bring more men to avoid being caught off guard again."

Julie quickly told him everything she knew.

They were afraid that if they acted rashly, they would suffer a hidden loss.

"What? He broke through to the Grandmaster realm?" Zhu Yuan exclaimed in astonishment.

"How is this possible? Isn't he a good-for-nothing?"

Zhu Shun was even more incredulous, and Niu Fang also frowned.

"It's absolutely true. He can grab people from a distance; only a Grandmaster can do that."

"He grabbed you from a distance? He grabbed you?" Zhu Shun stared at his sister.

Julie blushed and nodded vigorously.

"Husband, since it's true, let's not worry about how he broke through. We should be careful. Let's do as Lily says and take more people with us. If nothing happens, great. If something does happen, we'll be prepared."

After hearing Niu Fang's words, Zhu Yuan looked behind him with a gloomy expression.

"Alright, then let Jiao Hai, Wan Tao, and Ma Kui go with them."

The group nodded, and Zhu Yuan dismissed the other guests, leaving only Jiao Hai and the other two.

He then briefly explained the situation, saying that Luo Chen was extremely rebellious and would be killed today.

"Rest assured, Master. As guests of the Zhu family, we will naturally serve you."

The three men bowed and agreed, but each harbored their own anxieties.

"Very well. Since that bastard dares to stay here and refuse to leave, then we'll grant his wish."

Zhu Yuan nodded with a cold laugh, waved his hand, and led the group toward Luo Chen's courtyard with murderous intent.
